Wilde Flame by Kelly Elliott

Lilibeth
When I moved to River Falls, Colorado, falling for the town’s broody, tight-lipped cowboy was not part of the plan. Yet somehow, every run-in with Caden Wilde turns into a battle of sharp words and stolen glances. We argue like we’re at war, but my pulse never gets the memo. He’s stubborn. Infuriating. Impossible. And the most breathtaking man I’ve ever seen. When a twist of fate forces us to spend a few days alone together, the line between enemies and something far more dangerous begins to blur. Beneath the scowls and sarcasm, I see pieces of the man he tries so hard to hide. There’s just one problem. Caden doesn’t believe in relationships. So, I agree to his rules. A few days. No promises. No expectations. We’ll walk away as friends when it’s over. Simple. Until my heart refuses to play by those rules.

Caden
Two years ago, the woman I planned to marry shattered my future with a single word. Since then, I’ve kept my life simple, my ranch, my routine, and no room for anything that could wreck me again. Then Lilibeth Asher blows into town like a Colorado storm. She’s sunshine where I’m shadows. Hope where I’m hesitant. Too kind, too bright, too tempting for a man who swore he was done believing in forever. From the moment we met, she’s challenged me, pushing my buttons, breaking through my silence, and making me feel things I buried long ago. When a snowstorm traps us together, I convince myself I can handle it. A temporary truce. A few nights in my bed. No strings attached. I’ve survived heartbreak before. I can survive this. But Lilibeth isn’t temporary. She slips past my defenses, tearing down the walls I built piece by piece. And when life throws us a curveball neither of us sees coming, walking away is no longer an option. Now I have a choice to make. Smother this spark before it roars out of control. Or surrender to the wild flame she’s ignited inside me—a fire fierce enough to burn away my past and powerful enough to light the rest of my life.

It's About Time by Harlow James

Pretending to be engaged to my enemy might not be my brightest idea. But it is definitely necessary.

On the brink of the biggest car show of my career, I start to panic because it’s the first time I have to see my ex since our break-up. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t clean or amicable.

Then when Elliot Thorne’s ex-fiancé shows back up in town, I devise a plan for both of us to get what we want: a buffer from our exes with a dash of revenge.

The problem is Elliot takes his role to protect me too seriously. He brings me food while I’m working to make sure I eat. He even silences the self-doubt I feel on a day-to-day basis.

And before I know it, he has me on my knees in my garage, and on my back on the hood of my car.

The hate I’ve harbored toward him melts away as fast as my panties, and I soon realize we have more in common than I thought.

Then he tells me a secret that makes me reevaluate our entire relationship. Now I’m left to consider if something fake could be real…

And that maybe it’s about time I admit that Elliot isn’t my enemy after all.

Forsaking Midnight by Emily McIntire

Lance Calloway fights when they tell him to fight. Bleeds when they tell him to bleed. Breaks when they tell him to break. Six years in an unsanctioned cage, and the one line he's never crossed? Loyalty to his best friend, no matter the cost. Then he's asked to protect her.

Genevieve DeGrance didn't ask for any of this. She came to Rosebrook Falls to be with the mayor's son. But nothing in this town is what it seems. Especially not the dangerous fighter who watches her every move like a threat. She hates him. He hates her. And yet...

The more time Lance spends guarding Genevieve, the harder it becomes to remember she belongs to someone else. And the more she uncovers about Rosebrook Falls, the more she realizes the only honest person in her life is the one man she's forbidden to want.

In a town built on secrets and lies, falling for each other could destroy them both.

But staying away might be the one fight Lance can't win.

Pot Shot by Laura Piper Lee

Nomi Wyeth, former valedictorian and current pothead, has her heart set on opening her own boutique cannabis dispensary in charming downtown Sparrow Nook, New Jersey. Cannabis changed Nomi’s life, giving her relief from Crohn’s disease when nothing else could, and it’s her dream to help others find the same peace and comfort she has.

But Nomi’s plans are rudely interrupted when Dr. Julian D’Angelo, former salutatorian and current asshole, returns to Sparrow Nook with a chip on his shoulder, a probation to serve at the medical practice next door, and a lifelong vendetta against weed.

When an unfortunate shaving accident lands Nomi onto Julian’s exam table, Julian is appalled to discover that his high school nemesis is still inconveniently gorgeous, still hates his guts, and worst of all, that she’s planning on opening an amoral weed bordello next to his clinic. War is the only answer and definitely not an excuse to keep running into witty, free-spirited Nomi.

As they battle each other all over Sparrow Nook, from “pot luck” fundraisers to public debates at City Council meetings, their fraught pasts and feelings for each other become harder and harder to ignore. It’s tough to say what will change first—their minds or their hearts—but one thing’s for sure: they’re not going down without a fight.

Forged in the Fire by A.L. Jackson

It was a terrible idea to agree to protect my enemy’s sister…

The second she stepped out of her brother’s car, I knew she was a wildfire. Spitting mad and so stunning she stole my breath. She thinks her brother made a deal with the devil, and by working for me, she’s paying off his debt.

She doesn’t know the real reason she’s here. Doesn’t know the danger that surrounds her. Soon, she realizes there is something sinister lurking in the shadows.

She hates me for keeping her in the dark. I want to hate her back, but with every sassy thing that fires from her mouth, she gets deeper under my skin. With each heated glance, I feel myself losing control. And when I crawl into bed with her, I combust.

I know better than thinking I can keep her. My life is nothing but secrets and peril. But as outside threats begin to infiltrate, I’ll do anything to keep the oath I made to keep her safe.

Even expose her to the monster that I am…

Burning Skies by Lex Martin

Crossing a line has never felt this good.

I’m what you’d call a good girl—at least that’s what my family thinks. But I’m tired of living by everyone else’s rules. So when I sneak into a scandalous, masked costume party and spot Beau Walker—my longtime crush and my family’s sworn enemy—I do something bold: I cross the one line that's utterly forbidden.

Hidden by shadows and masks, we lose ourselves in the hottest night of my life. Until I accidentally moan his name, and everything comes crashing to a halt.

Beau says things I can’t forget, and my fantasy of him shatters along with my heart.

But when suspicious fires break out at the high school where I teach, I’m forced to see the one firefighter I wish I could forget.

And when our long-smoldering tension finally ignites, the heat between us lights up the sky—and reveals a danger neither of us saw coming.

Midnight Prince by Julie Saman

Charming, sexy, and impossible to say no to, we danced and drank before he took me to his suite and not only shattered my innocence but made me feel alive for the first time. By midnight, I was gone, leaving behind a fallen earring and intending to never see him again.

That is until months later, I'm placed in the palace as a royal servant and put directly in his path. He doesn't recognize me, but that doesn't mean he trusts me either. Nor should he.

I'm part of the curse his family can't seem to escape. A slave with an evil agenda. One that's darker and more sinister than death herself.

Only the longer I'm in the palace and the more time I spend with the prince and his family, the harder it is to plot their downfall. Lines get crossed. Tension and mistrust turn into passion and obsession.

But when everything I thought I knew about my life and the royal family is suddenly flipped upside down and my midnight prince discovers who I am, I have a decision to make.

Run again to save them all. Or burn down both our worlds.

West of Forever by Corinne Michaels

Tristan Stone is off limits.

It doesn't matter that the grumpy, single dad did nothing wrong. He's a cowboy and his last name means I'm bound by blood to hate him. My family would never be okay with me having feelings for our enemy.

When he stops―in the pouring rain―because I have a flat tire, the last thing I expect is for him to help me.

I do my best to ignore the water sliding off his hat and how he fills out those jeans. My best, however, is not good enough. Each night I close my eyes and dream of a future we can never have. And after he defends me at the bar and we share one magical dance? It only gets worse.

I know I should forget about him, but when I find him alone one night, I offer up a no-strings attached relationship that we both promise to keep secret. Sidelong glances across property lines morph into clandestine meetings under the stars wrapped up in each other's arms.

It doesn't matter that our families will never approve or that he's told me he can never love again, I crave him.

Soon our no feelings agreement is in tatters, and my heart belongs to that broken cowboy. Will he break it or will he defy them all and choose us instead?

As they race through high winds and stormy skies, Sloane realizes Wes might be more than the flirty wildcard she thought she knew—and that the feelings brewing between them are even more charged than the storms they chase.

The Mr & Mrs Mistake by Brighton Walsh

When Willa Jameson stumbled into my bar drunk, heartbroken, and desperate to save her family farm, I offered to marry her. For “convenience.”

Which is hilarious, because nothing about my attraction to this hurricane with hips has ever been convenient.

Now we’re sharing a roof, a bed, and a potential felony thanks to our fake marriage.

It’s supposed to be a favor between not-quite-friends-but-not-quite-enemies. Then our late-night arguments turn into practice make out sessions.

But according to her, that changes absolutely nothing between us.

No matter how many lines we draw, we keep crossing them—in the kitchen, on the porch, in the tiny bed that’s become both heaven and hell.

And the woman who swears she hates me starts looking at me like I might be exactly what she needs.

She calls me her temporary husband. I call her my daily torture, because every day we play house, it feels less like pretending and more like home.

When this ends, I don’t know how I’m going to forget what it felt like to call her mine. So either I walk away with her, or I don’t walk away at all.

Crazy in Love by Laura Pavlov

Emilia Taylor hates me, which is absolutely fine by me, because I don’t particularly care much for her either. Maybe I took things too far, but I decided she was the enemy a long time ago, and she gave me no reason to think differently.

At least not until recently. And when she sets her mind to prove me wrong, she goes all in.

I’m willing to admit when I’m wrong—because it sure as hell doesn’t happen very often. But being vulnerable with a woman who I was convinced was out for my family was a big pill to swallow. So, I’d rather send her a fancy gift and call this vendetta done.

However, she is anything but predictable. She doesn’t want a fancy gift from a man who she’s declared a broody, heartless billionaire. Her words not mine. And it’s not like you can send flowers to a woman who owns a floral shop.

She wants a sincere apology instead but that may be more than I can give. She’s sunshine and rainbows, and I’m… well not.

But when the first tear rolls down her cheek, I swear something inside me cracks. Turns out, my cold jaded heart still works. Apparently, it beats for the one woman I never saw coming.

My Brother's Enemy by Tijan

Tyler Griffin is gorgeous, ruthless, and arrogant. He’s also one of the best hockey players in the National Hockey League. Not known to be a fighter on the ice, he has no problem dropping the gloves at the same time.

The sweet side of Tyler: he has a twin sister that he would do anything for, including disregarding any rules if they mean he can’t protect who he loves.

As for myself, I have my own complicated relationship with my brothers. But things are about to get heated because the NHL team that I recently accepted a position to work for just traded for a certain star player: Tyler Griffin.

Airhead by Avery Flynn

The night in 1982 that changed everything…

There is no way I can resist avenging my sister's broken heart by filling her cheating boyfriend's bitchin' DeLorean with extra buttered movie popcorn, a half-melted Snickers, and the contents of one shaken can of Tab.

There's only one six-foot-six-inch problem. It's not The Creep's car. It's Frank "The Airhead" Hartigan’s. Now he wants me to drive him to Harbor City to make up for trashing his ride.

On the outside, I'm all gag me with a spoon, but on the inside? Yeah, not so much. The truth is I haven't stopped thinking about him since that night at Marino's Bar when he rocked my world to the max—something that can't happen again.

Frank Hartigan isn't a guy you fall for if you want to keep your heart in one piece. Waterbury is littered with the broken hearts of the women who forgot that, and I am not about to join their ranks.

Fine. I'll drive him around town, but that's it. No kisses. No getting hot and bothered. No toe-curling anything. And no matter what happens tonight, my heart—and my panties—will for sure remain untouched.

Wildflower and Whiskey by R.C. Stephens

Phoenix Thorne was the last man I wanted to see when I came back to Val-Du-Lys with my son. But fate has a cruel sense of humor.

Now I'm working in his brewery... and sleeping in the loft above his garage. He hasn't changed. Sharp edges. Hard muscles. Walls no one could scale.

And he still looks at me like I'm the wildflower that cut him all those years ago. We were enemies once. Now we're neighbors.

Every stolen glance, every brush of his hand pulls us closer to a line we swore we'd never cross. Then he kisses me. Hard. Hungry. Reckless. The kind of kiss that burns hotter than whiskey and leaves me aching for more.

He vowed he'd never forgive me. I swore I'd never need him. But the past has a way of catching up. Secrets that don't stay buried. Threats that circle too close to the people I love.

And suddenly the man I betrayed is the only one standing between me and a storm I never saw coming. Because once Phoenix claims me... he'll fight like hell to keep me.

Failure to Match by Kyra Parsi

He’s the arrogant, grumpy billionaire bane of my existence... and now I’m his full-time, live-in dating coach. I’ve never failed to match a client—until him.

Jackson Sinclair has dragged me through eight months of matchmaking hell, and I have the carnage of broken hearts to prove it. But I refuse to get fired from my dream job because of some infuriatingly gorgeous billionaire and his absurd criteria for a wife.

The plan is simple. All I have to do is infiltrate his penthouse, pretend to be his blind date, and figure out what the actual f*ck his actual f*cking problem is. It’ll be fine. He doesn’t know what I look like.

Except I nearly drown in Satan-clair’s massive pool, he figures out who I am, and now I’m forcibly glued to his side for the next 30 days.

It’s a nightmare, until it’s not. I hate him, until I discover everything he’s been hiding. We fight, until the tension boils over into sizzling temptation.

Jackson Sinclair may not believe in soulmates, and he may not believe in love, but little does he know, he’s finally met his match…

Hate Me Like You Mean It by Kyra Parsi

He’s the undisputed loathe of my life. My blood-sworn nemesis. And the man whose toilets I have to scrub for the next thirty days. How’s your week going?

It’s inspiring, really—the son of a single mother from humble beginnings rises to become one of the most successful men on the planet, then goes off to exact revenge on the spoiled, bratty heiress he’s been dying to strangle since preschool.

The wicked little witch that—allegedly—had his mother fired just to get rid of him. The self-centered, ungrateful hellion who—allegedly—has never touched a kitchen glove in her life.

It’s so satisfying, such delicious due justice, watching him corner her into striking a deal to be his maid for a month. Too bad he’s so full of sh*t.

“Hatred” barely scratches the surface. “Enemy” is too mild a term. It’s twenty years of pent-up frustration, rivalry, taunting, and resentment coming to a head.

Thirteen years of quiet heartbreaks, stolen glances, and unrequited butterflies getting buried deeper.

And thirty days of playing with fire… until we finally push each other just a little too far, our flame starts to burn just a little too bright, and all the secrets we tried so hard to hide come spilling into the light.

Dominic Crawford has always been the villain in my story, and I’m the fool who fell head over heels in love with him anyway.

My Favorite Bad Decision by Elizabeth O'Roark

Climbing Kilimanjaro? No thank you.

Climbing it with Miller West? Absolutely f***ing not.

A full week without showers, a real bed or Internet was bad enough. Spending it with my family’s sworn enemy—the unbearably smug, indecently handsome Miller West—is a bridge too far.

I’m determined to remain enemies, even if sparring with him is my favorite thing in the world. Even if he’s hell-bent on protecting me, whether I need it or not, and surprisingly kind, no matter how awful I am to him.

But eight days is a long time to hate someone you’re sleeping next to. Especially when you suspect you never hated him at all.

And what happens on Kilimanjaro stays on Kilimanjaro...right?

It was supposed to be a regular day out. Three couples celebrating the last days of summer. When tragedy struck. I thought I was going to marry her. Instead, I was burying her. I blamed the world for my pain. I buried it all. I became a man I didn’t even recognize.

Autumn

In a blink of an eye, everything changed. My best friend was gone, and I was responsible for it. I may not have been driving the truck, but I didn’t stop it. Escaping the town was the only thing I could do to survive the guilt. I thought I was strong enough to go back. I was wrong.

One look from him and I knew I wasn’t welcome. But this is my home, and I wanted to come back. One night turned into more. But at the end of the day, I know he’ll never love me. Besides, we all have shattered dreams.
